Från baksida:
"Though the Mod phenomenon returned to the media spotlight with the rise of Britpop, Blur and Oasis, its heyday was undoubtedly the early sixties. At the dawn of that most celebrated of decades, Mod was more than a just a type of music or style of dress, it was a religion - an all encompassing code of life, brilliantly defined by Pete Meaden as, 'Clean living, under difficult circumstances.'
Paolo Hewitt, celebrated former NME scribe and biographer of The Small Faces, The Jam and Oasis, has collected some of the best ever writing on the original, and peculiarly British, cult of Mod, including hard to find pieces by Tom Wolfe, Nik Cohn, Andrew Motion, Colin MacInnes and Irish Jack. Hewitt's hugely readable collection documents the clothes, the music, the clubs, the drugs and the faces behind one of the most misunderstood cultural movements, in prose as sharp as the creases in a freshly pressed mohair suit."
